[Calling all women in their 40s with low voices!] Easy-to-sing karaoke songs (31–40)

Kaela Kimura’s third single, “Rirura Riruha.” True to her early work, the song has an overall rock feel, but the vocal line isn’t particularly intense.

In fact, while the range is mid2C to hiC#—so on the higher side—it stays within a narrow span.

The melodic movement is very gentle, and since the average pitch is mid2E, only two semitones above the lowest note, even those who struggle with high notes should find it easy to sing.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Ayano Tsuji is a popular singer-songwriter who made her major debut in 1999 with a signature style of gentle, instantly recognizable vocals and ukulele-accompanied performances.

Since the 2000s, she has continued to release a string of heartwarming classics in the J-POP scene, maintaining a unique position.

Tsuji’s music has a soothing quality just by listening, and one of her signature songs, Kaze ni Naru, which was used as the theme song for the Studio Ghibli film The Cat Returns, is widely known and a great pick for karaoke where people of all ages gather.

Its very straightforward melody makes it easy to sing, so it’s perfect for aiming for a high score at karaoke—and singing it together as a parent and child is sure to be fun, too!

Among people in their early 40s, PUFFY can be considered a very popular music duo.

Many of you may have imitated their fashion, too.

Of all PUFFY’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “Ai no Shirushi” (“The Sign of Love”).

Its vocal range is mid2B to hiB, which is low enough that it wouldn’t be unusual even for a male vocalist.

The highest note only appears twice in the chorus, so even those who tend to go off-pitch on high notes should be able to sing it without trouble.

Never endsUru

Never endsUru

“Never ends,” the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “DOPE: Narcotics Control Special Unit,” is a familiar tune if you’ve been watching the show! In this song, the verses (A-melody to B-melody) are set on the lower side, so try singing gently and carefully without belting from the start.

The high notes in the chorus go up to about D#5, but aim to hit them solidly in a head voice like Uru’s rather than pushing your chest voice.

There’s also a low note around C3 in the bridge (C-melody), which may feel low for many women, though lower-voiced female singers might find it easier.

Be sure to sing gently without straining your throat.

I hate this love songchanmina

In most of Chanmina’s songs, her wonderful low voice really resonates! Listening to “I hate this love song,” there are almost no high notes; the overall range is A3–C#5.

There’s a brief high note in the chorus, but given the vibe of the song, using falsetto is perfectly fine.

Also, can you hear that finger‑snap-like sound in the backing track? It plays a very important role in the rhythm of the song, so when you sing it, make sure to listen closely to those snaps and ride the groove.

Chanmina has a lot of rap-heavy tracks, but this one doesn’t have bold rap parts, so it’s easier to learn as a song.

Yellow Yellow HappyPoketto Bisuketsu

Pocket Biscuits is a music unit born from the 1990s smash-hit TV show “Ucchan Nanchan no Urinari!!”.

Unusually for a project-based unit, they were active for five years, and at their peak even pulled off a solo concert at Budokan.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Yellow Yellow Happy.” It has a strong, upbeat melody, but the vocal line itself is simple and repeats similar phrases.

On top of that, the range is relatively narrow, so a woman in her 40s should be able to sing it without any trouble.

Don’t give upZARD

ZARD is a band that energized the Japanese music scene from the late 1990s to the 2000s with catchy, straightforward J-pop.

Even after the passing of their frontwoman, Izumi Sakai, their many famous songs continue to be cherished by countless fans.

Among ZARD’s catalog, the one I especially recommend is “Makenaide.” While the song stays within a relatively narrow vocal range overall, a slightly higher section appears just before the end of the chorus.

Since this high note is extremely brief—less than a second—if you find it difficult to hit, I recommend intentionally raising the key and singing that part in falsetto.
